bibliography sorting order is not working

Post by john1235 »

I am new to Lyx and have spent the better part of a week getting things to work correctly. I am stumped how to fix the problem of the bibliography sorting order not working.

I have a LyX file like this:

Mary had a little lamb.

I insert a citation so now I have:

Mary had a little lamb[1].

I then realize that I needed to cite Mary so I insert again:

Mary[2] had a little lamb[1].

No matter what I do in settings etc, I can not get it to print:

Mary[1] had a little lamb[2].

My set up:

LyX version 2.0.4
MiKTex 2.9
I am using Zotero in conjunction with LyZ to build BibTex database.
I have tried different styles: unsrt, plain, ieeter
LyXserverPipe: \\.\pipe\lyxpipe

I am totally tired of trying to get this up and working. I am sure the effort will be repaid, but what a pain.

Any help is appreciated.

Using unsrt.bst, you should get what you're looking for if you run things in the right order. Note that you'll have to run LaTeX twice after running BibTeX to update the cross-references. I assume LyX would do that for you, but I don't use LyX so I don't know.
